Stock POS kenwood head unit

[VA03Speed]

just was wondering what was the count of people who own MSP that have had their stock head units replaced by the dealership one or more times and before they fixed it they gave you a hard time?

[I_Vtec]

Well I've had mine replaced but wasn't given a hard time about it.

I've also had my sub replaced once and it needs it again.

[ChopstickHero]

ditch the kenwood totally and get something better.

[VA03Speed]

Well they replaced it and know it works fine but i am thinking about it later on if this one does the same thing

[Skydragon]

I'm on my third one but wasn't given a hard time.

I bought a very similar POS kenwood, the x759, and haven't had any issues whatsoever. I'm only guessing at this, but I would assume anyone getting replacements now are most likely receiving refurb'd units. Could have something to do with the quality of product. However, I'd also want to get a free one if it's still under warranty.

when the head unit was replaced, was it with the exact same one?

YEA IT WAS WITH THE SAME ONE THAT WAS BRAND NEW IN THE BOX BECAUSE I SAW IT IN THE BOX BEFORE THEY PUT IT IN

Replaced once with refurb unit. No hard time, just took 8 weeks!

[msp35]

replaced once, stolen once.

[MSPRCRX44]

replaced once, but the dealership tryed to say that my remote wire to my amp shorted it out and they didnt want t replace it. they did though.

[ZMN BY U]

ORDERED ONE for mine 3 months ago and i work for mazda im an advisor. They sent the dam radio to the wrong dealership so i have no radio now for 3 more months.

I've been told that my MSP's previous owner had to replace the HU and sub at some point. No idea how long it took or what kind of hassle it was.

[nobleclem]

I am waiting on a replacement for mine. The front plate doenst rotate hence can't play CD's. I am thinking it is not going to come in because I was looking at the previous owners repair work and a replacement was requested back in march.

I think I am going to call them tomorrow and check the status of a replacement. Either it needs to be replaced with the same model or it needs to be replaced with an equivelant model.

[VA03Speed]

They replaced mine but they thru in that the amp shorted it out, the turbo timer shorted it out, the profec-e 01 shorted it out.....but i told him that they do not connect with the radio.

i'm on my 3rd headunit and i've never had a sub go bad. i keep it at the stock settings on that piece of paper that came with the car. i'm hoping it will die again right before i hit 50000 so i can get it replaced again. i know it will. it died a year after i got the car and then a year after it was replaced. i'm thinking i've got another 9 months out of it

My headunit went out (for the first time) about two weeks ago -- the typical faceplate locked in the horizontal position. The dealership has ordered a replacement but it has yet to arrrive. The service I received was first-rate, as it usually is.

[MSPDetroit]

not mine, my dealer sucks balls!! my unit has been out for more than 2 months now. and they say they can't do anything for me. WTF i'm pretty pissed.

[miss_steele_msp]

Well they replaced it and know it works fine but i am thinking about it later on if this one does the same thing

i would just sell it to me and get you a new one

Is that Sterling in Woodhaven. There giving me a hard time about replacing my subwoofer. Seems when I ready there's no Tech to be found. BTW Im on my 3 head unit.

[MSPDetroit]

sure is that kid is an idiot. but now he says their gonna replace it after i threatened to sue them. my sub went out about a year an half ago and they did replace that. but there were different workers then. the shit has to be replaced no matter what. as long as your warranty is still valid, everything on that car is under warranty and should be fixed or replaced no matter what. whatever hes telling u don't give in. u can threaten them. my brother is a lawyer, he told me exactly what to do.

Every 10k miles...it flips open and STOPS WORKING...?

so i am on my 3rd referb....(2 weeks ago)
and this time around ...my sub is not working...?

i wonder if the idiot forgot to plug in the RCA for the AMP?
thus i was looking for a HOW TO remove and got here

good luck to all those with a BROKEN unit
my dealer had NO issues ordering replacements
just i hated wating...averaged around 1 week to get in

[Xboaty]

48k miles, and the damn thing finally lays down on me. Now the dealer says "They will have to check to see if its under warranty". I helped them out with that, now playing the waiting game for a new one to come in. So far its been two weeks and counting. I'm guessing it would be easier just to buy a different unit and be done with it............

[MoJoeTCM]

[jimmycap74]

Hey guys, i see all of you complaining about your headunits and subs and what not. Well i bought my car in august from some guy in miami and it had 2 12's in a pretty sweet box, 1600 watt amp and power cap and a pioneer premier headunit. I really dont need it and want the stock system along wtih the kenwood headunit(the one i hae is better but for some reason im stuck on being stock in that area) so if anyone really wants to get rid of theres and maybe make a fair trade? say wahtever that stuff is worth off whatever i have is worht. then i would definlay want to work out a deal. my email is JimmyCap74@hotmail.com and my aol screen name is JimmyCap74

Well, it only took 3 weeks of driving with a walkman in my ear, but the dealer came through. Got the *new* radio installed yesterday and finally, once again, have music coming from the doors. And, under warranty.....
Happy Holidays All !!!!!
